Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics
This
document
supplements the Montana
State University Graduate Catalog.
Training in statistical methods is a required part of the education of
graduate students in engineering and the sciences. The Graduate
Certificate in Applied Statistics is designed to provide additional education
in statistical thinking and methodology over and above the basic
coursework taken by the typical graduate student. This transcriptable
certificate will provide a clear record of additional training in
statistics for future graduate programs or employers. The Graduate
Certificate will also be of interest to those currently employed in
technical fields in the local area and to post-baccalaureate students.
